"Ankle-Dorsiflexion Range of Motion after Ankle Self-Stretching using a Strap", Journal for Athletic Training, In-choel Jeon et al
'Static Stretching on the Incline Board
Each participant flexed the knee slightly while standing on a 10 (deg) incline board. The participant was asked to slightly flex both knees. The participant was asked to slightly flex both knees until a stretch was felt in the calf muscle.'
My query is why were the participant asked to flex the knees, rather than extend, to get a 'stretch' in the calves?
Thanks for any replies
Last thread re 'transverse plane motion' I queried adduction-abduction as a TP motion. I was thinking hip, knee and not sub-talar joint; not very clever for a podiatrist
